How do you handle daylight saving time (summer time)?Answer: Daylight saving time (DST or known as summer time in EU) is hard to handle correct for all users since many countries and regions have locally decided to use their own rules.
For users in EU and US we should be able to handle it correct without any need for the user to manually change time settings. This include the current US update according to the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Also, users in regions that do not have daylight saving time at all (most regions in Asia and Africa) will also be ok. They have to make sure that the option 'Automatically adjust time when daylight saving time' in the administration (General settings) is turned off.
However, all other users (such as users from South America or Australia) will have to manually change time settings two times a year in the administration.
